The Importance of Pet Wellness Care

Pet wellness care is the topic of today's Cross Creek Animal Medical Centre blog, and it is a hot topic here in our offices thanks to our Cross Creek Pet Loyalty Packages. As a responsible and loving pet owner, you undoubtedly already realize that taking care of your beloved pet involves more than just a trip to the veterinary clinic or animal hospital when an emergency strikes. We want to help keep your pet healthy and happy for their whole lives, and to make sure that unexpected health problems occur as rarely as possible!

Our Tampa Veterinary Team
is Committed to Your Pet's Health

We have a team of highly trained Tampa veterinary staff here to help your pet stay well at all times -- which can help make those emergencies far less frequent! Our team includes Dr. Timothy Hodge, our veterinarian, and support staff members Edwin Martinez, Paula Hendrickson, Eniko Pomales, Patti Rodriguez, Vanessa Estacion Nichols, Myrna Otero, Alecia Collins, and Tara Dahl. Our veterinarian and staff recommend our Cross Creek Pet Loyalty Packages as an excellent way to keep your pet healthy, plan for the future, and keep pet care costs at a reasonable level for you!

Our loyalty packages include all you need to keep your pet up to date on their vaccinations, and to keep a close watch on their overall wellness. We offer puppy and kitten loyalty packages for pets up to one year old (includes necessary shots such as 4-DH2PCP, Rabies, Bordetella, feline leukemia, and Canine Influenza Vaccinations, fecal parasite tests, pediatric deworming, and heartworm test).

We also offer basic adult K9 and feline loyalty packages (includes two wellness exams yearly, 4-DH2PCP, Rabies, Bordetella, and other necessary vaccinations, fecal parasite tests, pediatric deworming, and heartworm test). Our superior loyalty packages include all of the above, plus a comprehensive lab profile.

We are here to assist you with keeping your pet in great shape -- and our loyalty packages are here to make pet wellness easy to achieve! Questions about our loyalty packages? We're happy to discuss them, give us a call!

What steps do you take to keep your pet healthy?

With the holiday season right around the corner, we decided to focus today's Cross Creek Animal Medical Centre blog on our pet boarding options. We understand that when you are traveling away from Tampa that you don't want to have to worry about how your pet will be taken care of: You want to know that your pet is safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention and interaction. Our veterinarian, Dr. Timothy D. Hodge, and our entire staff work together to make sure that your pet gets the best of care here at our veterinary hospital during those times that you need to use the pet boarding option.

Our Tampa Veterinarian Really Cares!

Our animal hospital staff and veterinarian truly care about the welfare of your pet, because we all work in this field thanks to our love of animals. The living quarters for pets who board here are more than sufficient to allow them to move around and to be comfortable, but they will not spend all their time confined. We exercise all of our pet boarding guests with walks three times each day. It's not just about the exercise, though -- it's about having fun too!

We schedule plenty of playtime for your pet. We know that playing with a favorite toy can really help, so we encourage our pet parents to bring their pet's toys so that they feel more at home during their stay here. If your pet is accustomed to sleeping with a certain pillow, blanket, or other bedding, please feel free to bring that as well -- the more comfortable that your pet is, the better we feel we have done our jobs. These pieces of home can help us to ensure your pet feels happy.

We are happy to have pet guests who are up to date on vaccinations come to stay with us at any time. If you need to make sure your pet is up to date, just give us a call and we will be happy to check! Pet boarding pick up and drop offs are always done during our standard business hours.

Do you have any inquiries about our boarding program? What trips do you have planned?
